Nipissing—Timiskaming is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 2004. The riding was formed by the amalgamation of the former Nipissing riding with the southeastern portion of the former Timiskaming—Cochrane riding.

Under provincial legislation designed to harmonize federal and provincial electoral districts, it was scheduled to elect a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the next provincial election. The government, however, has enacted new legislation that maintains the previous boundaries of northern Ontario constituencies; its effect is that the north will maintain the current 11 ridings for provincial elections instead of being reduced to ten.

Nipissing—Timiskaming consists of:

the Territorial District of Nipissing, excluding:
- the Town of West Nipissing;
- the southeast part of the district;
- the Town of Kearney;
in the Territorial District of Parry Sound, the Town of Powassan and the townships of Nipissing and North Himsworth; and
the part of the Territorial District of Timiskaming lying south and east of a line drawn from the eastern limit of the district west along the northern border of the Townships of Harris, Dymond, Hudson, Lundy, Auld and Speight, south along the western border of the townships of Speight, Van Nostrand, Leo and Medina to the southern limit of the district.
